well, then the annuals fill in - I go for fragrance - nasturtiums, dianthus, four-o-clocks. . .btw, I have loved bearded iris ever since I was a little kid, I think in part because when I was small, the irises were nose heights, and the smell is heavenly. Always takes me back.

12:45 am

melonheadjujube

taDah, cybernan!

12:47 am

MonkeyGames

I'm missing a T-- is there a weird one?

1:38 am

Andree

rbud all the z's start with the same 4 letters

1:38 am

rbud

hi, Monkey! and thanks, I tend to miss the last longer pl, should probably check my others like that!

1:38 am

MonkeyGames

I usually end up with a bunch of simple plurals left at the end.

1:40 am

MonkeyGames

Phantom: fennec

1:42 am

Andree

47 left, i will finish at home, must do my faxing and go home, back later

1:43 am

MonkeyGames

Bye, Andree!

1:48 am

MonkeyGames

Going to need to be off soon. Poor littel Walter has raging chicken pox and I want to toss him into a lukewarm shower because it makes him feel better.

1:49 am

jillibus

hi Monkey -- sorry about Walter!

1:50 am

MonkeyGames

Hi! Well, at least he's getting it over with and so far it doesn't itch. But the poor little guy will be missing the charity walks at his school he's so been looking forward to.

1:50 am

jillibus

JC -- I did announce that I'd been to your blog and asked if Valerie was getting more used to the little guy, but you must have been buried in the grid or under your blankets

1:52 am

MonkeyGames

OK, off with me. I'll be back on at unpredetermined intervals. Have fun everyone!

1:52 am

Takuma Sato

howdy folks!

1:54 am

rbud

hi, Tak!

1:54 am

jillibus

hello takuma!

1:54 am

Takuma Sato

Yep, logging into Babble was all it took for me to recognize that I need to go to sleep. Good luck, and have fun, all!

1:57 am

rbud

bye, Tak! lol

1:57 am

jillibus

that was a quickie!

2:10 am

jillibus

where did everybody go?

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

everyone vamoosed

2:10 am

jillibus

hi dee hi

2:11 am

VolleymomDee

hugs jili

2:12 am

VolleymomDee

having an awful time with the top p

2:13 am

jillibus

I have pr4/6 and 5/14 from there, dee

2:14 am

rbud

me too, I have 3 from there, have hunted for the last one for ages. ph 7 is from there

2:15 am

VolleymomDee

aww so I am missing the ph 7 then

2:15 am

jillibus

just got the other pr4

2:16 am

VolleymomDee

ty jili; rb got it... rb starts with 3 consonants

2:17 am

jillibus

I know about the ph7 -- it was clued a while ago but I didn't understand the clue :(

2:19 am

VolleymomDee

def of the ph 7: Anatomy. of or pertaining to the diaphragm.
2. Physiology. relating to the mind

2:19 am

VolleymomDee

it's an adjective

2:20 am

rbud

I think the same root word has to do with reading the bumps on one's head

2:20 am

VolleymomDee

aww I think you may be correct

2:21 am

jillibus

got it -- thanks! All I could think of was that business about feeling the bumps on people's heads -- ph***ology

2:21 am

VolleymomDee

lol

2:21 am

jillibus

gmta, rbud!

2:21 am

rbud

there we were, in the same place, jilli! lol

2:22 am

VolleymomDee

is there more than one re 7?

2:23 am

rbud

yes, 2

2:23 am

VolleymomDee

ty I figured there must be

2:24 am

MonkeyGames

One's a plural. And hi again.

2:24 am

rbud

one is a digestive enzyme, (re6/7) and one is to answer

2:25 am

MonkeyGames

Still missing a T. Is there a weird one? Besides the Ethiopian flour(s), I mean?

2:25 am

VolleymomDee

ty ty totally missed the second one... I doubt if I would have found that one

2:26 am

VolleymomDee

any more than 3 up's?

2:26 am

MonkeyGames

I only have 2 so can't help with that one...

2:26 am

Nebelungenlied

5

2:27 am

VolleymomDee

ty neb

2:28 am

Nebelungenlied

up 4 5 4 6 6

2:28 am

MonkeyGames

OK, how about the H on the left? I have a 4-letter word from it. Are they both 4's?

2:29 am

VolleymomDee

ty so much neb that will help me find my missing 1

2:29 am

VolleymomDee

hi 4/5 x 2

2:29 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks!

2:30 am

VolleymomDee

yqw

2:30 am

VolleymomDee

I don't think I have ever seen the up 6's before; ty neb!

2:31 am

MonkeyGames

Ooooh, hadn't thought to try ending one THAT way...

2:31 am

VolleymomDee

:)

2:33 am

jillibus

can't think of a digestive enzyme starting with re. Years ago I learned pepsin, trypsin, and amylopsin -- we made a silly sentence of those words.

2:33 am

MonkeyGames

It's used in cheese making, derived from cow stomachs.

2:34 am

MonkeyGames

Usually ends -et, but not in his case...

2:34 am

MonkeyGames

Oh yes, that is also here, sorry...

2:34 am

VolleymomDee

there is an re 6/18 ending that way

2:34 am

MonkeyGames

Yeah, my oops. Same enzyme.

2:35 am

VolleymomDee

:)

2:35 am

jillibus

and the ingredient in Junket, if you're old enough to remember that

2:35 am

VolleymomDee

ty both... found an se 6 cuz of that :)

2:35 am

MonkeyGames

I'm old enough to have had a grandmother who collected that...

2:36 am

MonkeyGames

SE? Cool, looking...

2:36 am

MonkeyGames

Walter is feeling better after the shower and his snack.

2:36 am

VolleymomDee

so good to hear; didn't know he had chicken pox... you on the end or at the beginning?

2:37 am

jillibus

I still have an old packet of Junket!

2:37 am

VolleymomDee

funny jili

2:37 am

MonkeyGames

Third day. Yesterday was the first fever, and the itching hasn't started... hope it never does...

2:37 am

VolleymomDee

I have heard of it... what is it for (junket)

2:38 am

VolleymomDee

benelyn cough syrup used to be one of the things you could use for itching; lukewarm baths or showers like you mentioned

2:38 am

jillibus

it makes a sort of jelled milk dessert, very comforting for a sick kid

2:38 am

rbud

our daughter had chicken pox when we used to live in florida, I let her play in her little wading pool all day, it worked well.

2:39 am

VolleymomDee

put mittens on our daughter's hands a couple of nite's when she slept to keep her from scratching her face, but we were lucky and had a light case

2:39 am

VolleymomDee

aww didn't know that jili

2:39 am

VolleymomDee

I felt awful; we didn't know Lindz had been exposed, and we exposed her entire Sunday school class...

2:39 am

MonkeyGames

Yeah, as soon as the sun hits the deck I'll be filling up buckets: he likes to splash the water around and get really wet while watering the plants. So far no itching though. I have a large bottle of calendula tincture waiting...

2:40 am

VolleymomDee

came home in afternoon after lunch; got ready to put her down for her nap and found them on her tummy

2:40 am

VolleymomDee

sounds like you are all ready to go

2:40 am

jillibus

I got chickenpox in NY when I was 8 and we were booked to leave for England in a couple of days. Only got about 3 spots and hid them.

2:40 am

VolleymomDee

wow

2:41 am

mama2maddie

very strange...the words from the h and f on the left side are not registering on the word list or on the tile stats, but it says i have already entered the word....

2:41 am

jillibus

try refreshing, mama2

2:41 am

mama2maddie

time to refresh

2:41 am

VolleymomDee

I have had that happen before

2:41 am

MonkeyGames

Got him up Friday and found them on his back. We'd already had a letetr from the school that it's going around. He didn't feel so bad Friday so after his visit to the doctor o confirm, he was able to attend a party day at school. But now he won't be going tomorrow and he'll be missing the charity walks he's been looking forward to.

2:42 am

jillibus

Poor little Walter :(

2:42 am

mama2maddie

all better...:)

2:43 am

VolleymomDee

surprising; our schools make you take them out of school until they have scabbed and are almost healed

2:43 am

VolleymomDee

welcome back mama

2:43 am

mama2maddie

ty

2:43 am

jillibus

good, mama!

2:44 am

MonkeyGames

Yes Jilli, this is a yearly big deal and this was to be the first year he really knew anything about it. Lots of hype at school and all. He really wants to go, but he has fever today and in order to go he would have to go to school for a full day tomorrow and then go in the evening for the walk until way past bedtime. I am vetoing it. And Volley, here they don't do that. The letter from the school, and the doctor, pointedout that by the time a kid shows spots, the entire class has already been exposed. Another kid is all over spotty as well, and has been in class.

2:45 am

VolleymomDee

interesting; makes sense I suppose that they have already been exposed

2:46 am

MonkeyGames

The virus is contaius for 1 - 3 days before the first spot appears. I have been advised to try to keep him away from newborns and pregnant women; that won't be difficult.

2:47 am

VolleymomDee

and old people who have autoimmune issues (because of shingles)

2:47 am

VolleymomDee

the poor teacher must be going nuts

2:48 am

MonkeyGames

True. But anyway he's still too unwell now to go out anyway, so it's not an issue. When he CAN go out I can scout the supermarket from my window-- it's very small.

2:49 am

MonkeyGames

The teacher is taking it with aplomb. We all just got through a 5th disease outbreak as well. It's a small school with great staff. She has lots of calendula cream, and she only has 18 kids to keep track of, and only a couple have pox.

2:49 am

VolleymomDee

hopefully since it is starting off like it is, it will me easy going like our daughter's; she had a grand time watching movies and being pampered :)

2:49 am

VolleymomDee

remind me what 5th disease is

2:50 am

MonkeyGames

Walter HATES being sick, but he's handling it OK, except that the cable company just accidentally scrambled his favorite TV channel (they usually get that sorted out pretty quickly though).

2:50 am

VolleymomDee

yipes

2:50 am

MonkeyGames

5th is a harmless childhood one that causes cold-like symptoms, a slapped-cheeks look, and a weird lacy kind of rash on the arms and legs.

2:51 am

MonkeyGames

Later today we will be starting work on the book we will be making from a story Walter has composed about a rabbit that lives on the moon.

2:51 am

VolleymomDee

I have heard of it... how long does it last?

2:51 am

VolleymomDee

odd name for a disease

2:52 am

VolleymomDee

aww sweet

2:52 am

MonkeyGames

5th? The illness lasts a few days but the rash comes and goes for weeks.

2:52 am

VolleymomDee

that's not fun

2:53 am

MonkeyGames

The rash causing childhood diseases were numbered in the old days. Can't remember which is which except I think chicken pox is #3.

2:53 am

MonkeyGames

The 5th rash doesn't itch or anything, it just looks kind of startling.

2:54 am

VolleymomDee

very interesting; our daughter is now 26 years old, so I have lost track of all the childhood diseases

2:54 am

VolleymomDee

I bet

2:54 am

MonkeyGames

I can see how you would. Until grandchildren, anyway...

2:54 am

VolleymomDee

hopefully some day.... :)

2:55 am

MonkeyGames

I was 36 when I had Walter, so don't give up hope.

2:55 am

VolleymomDee

aw ty ... praying for that "great" son-in-law now

2:56 am

MonkeyGames

And on that one it took me two tries... first marriage lasted two years. After that I met my soul mate and we just had our 16th anniversary.

2:56 am

VolleymomDee

our daughter is so self sufficient; strong willed; tall; successful at her job; owns her own home, so I think she scares some beaus off :)

2:56 am

VolleymomDee

fantastic congrats!

2:57 am

MonkeyGames

The right one will come along.

2:57 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks!

2:57 am

VolleymomDee

she will make such a fantastic mom; always has adored kids and all of those she babysat for loved her to pieces

2:58 am

VolleymomDee

congrats, too, on your degree; I have never heard of that one

2:58 am

MonkeyGames

Great! Too many of these go-getter success women just don't seem interested, and then they have kids for the wrong reasons and treat them like accessories. Very glad she's not like that.

2:59 am

VolleymomDee

so true

2:59 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks, yeah, it's a Dutch degree and so far is not doing me a lot of good uin the job hunt.... I picked it because it's very broad, but then everywhere I go says it's not focussed narrowly enough on what they do there. Sigh.

2:59 am

VolleymomDee

that stinks

3:00 am

VolleymomDee

did you tell them they could train you for their specific needs; you are a fast learner :)

3:00 am

MonkeyGames

We'll get through it. But it's being a tad stressful, to say the least. Meanwhile, Walter has just set himself up on the floor now with my sheepskin as a bed, and his blanket and pillow.

3:00 am

VolleymomDee

aww

3:01 am

VolleymomDee

fireworks

3:01 am

MonkeyGames

Oh yes, that's also in my CV, but the job market sucks so badly they all get plenty of applicants with "better" degrees and more experience.

3:01 am

MonkeyGames

YAY FOR YOU!!!

3:01 am

BabbleRabble

which is rather disingenuous since most companies will train you for their specific needs

3:01 am

VolleymomDee

true here right now, too. Thanks!

3:01 am

MonkeyGames

Meanwhile fingers crossed, please-- I did just apply for a job with the department of justice that DOES fit well with the degree.

3:01 am

VolleymomDee

nods at babble

3:02 am

BabbleRabble

congrats, Dee

3:02 am

VolleymomDee

xxxxx fingers crossed

3:02 am

VolleymomDee

ty

3:02 am

MonkeyGames

True BabRab, but the eperience thing really caps it off. There are drawbacks to spending a lot of years on the immigration process...

3:02 am

BabbleRabble

I expect the economy has made it an employer's market

3:03 am

MonkeyGames

Oh yes. They can be VEEERRRRYYY choosy right now.

3:03 am

jillibus

congrats, dee!

3:03 am

VolleymomDee

I think recently I read that the US has 1.2 million college grads looking for jobs now... ty jili

3:04 am

MonkeyGames

OK, while Walter is on an "up" and can entertain himself for a bit, I'd better get laundry on and stuff. I'll be in and out here. Thanks for the crossed fingers for me and sympathies for the wee monkey! Have fun!

3:05 am

jillibus

ttfn monkey :)

3:05 am

VolleymomDee

ditto what jili said... I need to be poofing... may I help anyone before I poof?

3:07 am

VolleymomDee

ok then.... have a great day / eve; hugs to all cya the flip *poof*

3:16 am

4:15 am

fuquayvarina

yeah, I know what you mean. I haven't had time to finish more than a few of the smaller grids since about March

4:15 am

joshuavorbis

4:15 am

fuquayvarina

of course, it doesn't help that I'm also playing lexulous

4:15 am

joshuavorbis

i do my babbling in the middle of the night

4:16 am

fuquayvarina

go josh go!

4:17 am

BabbleRabble

I do the grid when I get to it. I babble to make sure I keep my incoherence at peak performance.

4:18 am

fuquayvarina

LOL, BR. Seems like you are always here, day and night, but always finished already when I get here.

4:20 am

5:41 am

I asked for the ph7 and everything went silent. Maybe it's a secret?

5:42 am

carleekat

there is a p in the grid????

5:42 am

carleekat

oh..there...no coffee yet... didn't even see it

5:42 am

MonkeyGames

I'm lurking and just have a sec (that's why) but it's like the "science" of feeling head bumps but ends as an adjective, Eva.

5:43 am

Eva

thanks monkey-don'thave it yet but will go hunting now

5:44 am

LoriP

Ehva ph + last 5 letters of a person who is schizoph*****

5:44 am

The "science" isn't in the grid, just the adjective.

5:44 am

great team work monkey and lori! Thanks

5:44 am

Well there's mega chat lag... G'd mornign Babblers

Thank you! Those are words?! But yoru clue was more than good enough to find 'em...

I have 30 left but I doubt they're real words.

glad that lame clue worked for you monkey

5:47 am

MonkeyGames

'Tweren't lame a'tall!

5:48 am

Eva

still missing 2 7's-the ci7, and the re7 that isn't about answering

5:48 am

MonkeyGames

That re7 is a plural of a 6. The ci is tricky to clue... hang on...

5:49 am

LoriP

I have a ci 7, it's new to me

5:49 am

First 3 letters of a spice, then everything but the S from the poisonous gas.

Haz picks her way daintily through the juggled balls.

6:37 am

forwardbyfaith

se6,18 please?

6:37 am

Haz1558

Stilts are good for avoiding those juggled balls. Makes you look as though you're entering the spirit of the thing but keeps you aloof.

6:37 am

carleekat

there..am finished..nice little grid

6:37 am

Haz1558

se6/18 - think of Mack, the silent comedian.

6:38 am

6:42 am

Silly client..

6:45 am

Atalante

I am now. After sorting out chaos this morning cos husband locked my house keys and car keys inside the car, inside the garage. And locked the garage.

6:46 am

LoriP

Found it, t'was an re 6. There's 3 of them.

6:46 am

Haz1558

He is a man not inclined to do things by halves, isn't he?

6:46 am

LoriP

That's a lot of lockage. :(

6:46 am

Haz1558

Lori can now move swiftly on to conquer the grid.

6:46 am

Atalante

and of coruse it was my fault!

6:46 am

zoozzoom

oh no Ata how did you get the keys ?

6:47 am

LoriP

Swiftly. Yes. That's the word....

6:47 am

Haz1558

Naturellement. FM was not to hand so you were bound to be at fault.

6:47 am

LoriP

Well c'mon now Ata, we know it wasn't his fault. That's a given.

6:47 am

Atalante

got 2 nice burly neighbours to break into the garage for me :)

6:47 am

Haz1558

'With one bound, Lori conquered the grid'

6:48 am

72 Temple Owl

hi all

6:48 am

Haz1558

That's something estate agents should taken into consideration when writing up a house 'Burly neighbours on either side'

6:48 am

Haz1558

Hello TO!

6:48 am

zoozzoom

hello TO

6:48 am

Atalante

hi TO!

6:48 am

LoriP

G'd mornign TO! How goes the battle?

6:49 am

Atalante

well I tried first. apparently my skills do not extend to lock picking lol

6:49 am

Haz1558

But they need to be nice burly neighbours. Nasty burly neighbours would be less successful in selling a place.

6:49 am

Haz1558

See, I knew I would get sucked in if I stopped to say hello...

6:49 am

LoriP

Handsome burly neighbors is a bonus.

6:49 am

Atalante

these definitely are!

6:50 am

zoozzoom

yeah NBT

6:50 am

LoriP

Being sucked in here, is the ebst vacuum Haz.

6:50 am

Atalante

1 is handsome, 1 isn't. But they spent 1/2 an hour of their morning helping me, so both are lovely

6:50 am

Well done neighbours.

In a different context, Mark Twain said: Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your conviction is to be an unqualified and excusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let men label you as they may.

Trifioso

7:55 am

crosshair

im sure you did fine work mrp,but it seems to me that the rest of this group got blindsided by protocols and forgot it was for the kids along the way.as i read this.it is a breakfast or lunch club for kids who need it right? what we do her is easy and simple.once a month each parent donates a big box of cerial to the breakfast club and we have a local fruit and veggie company whi donates apples,oranges and bananas,and thats it!! a child can get a good breakfast anytime and the whole issue is not buried in protocol and paperwork;)

7:56 am

8:27 am

redturtlehead

BR...

8:27 am

bichon

"Lost" has been on for about 4 years and is about a plane which disappears from Sydney to L.A. The island it lands on is mysterious to say the least

8:28 am

Trifioso

9:01 am

kje

ty

9:01 am

Rushie

I'm still using one of the first XP computers that ever came out

9:02 am

kje

laptops rock

9:02 am

Rushie

It has a 6-year-old LCD monitor with dirt and spots that look funny

9:03 am

Rushie

The computer itself is 7 years old, with a few replacements of the motherboard throughout.

9:03 am

dafunk

diy rushie?

9:03 am

mom2han8

I think mine is about the same.

9:04 am

mom2han8

My husband is a guy that hates change... but I want to get this monstrosity out of my living/dining area.

9:04 am

Rushie

I do give this computer credit though

9:05 am

Rushie

It's been used and abused and treated like crap but it keeps on ticking

9:05 am

Rushie

BRB going to top up my fuel tank

9:06 am

mom2han8

Well, it still works.

9:06 am

dafunk

upgrading is inevitable, at some point it just needs to be done

9:07 am

Rushie

Back with more coffee.

9:07 am

mom2han8

Oh, he is on board with that... but since we are going to spend the $$$ I figure get a laptop instead of the freestanding.

9:08 am

mom2han8

But he is not that familiar with them, so it will be a long research process... he is coming around though!

9:08 am

dafunk

dont really blame you on that, i have one and i sold my desktop. used it 2 times a year

9:08 am

Pinikula

* yawn * morning all...

9:09 am

Pinikula

Dell has some good deals going right now (it's their 25th anniversary sale)

9:09 am

mom2han8

hi pini

9:09 am

mom2han8

My brother in law is a computer guy and he said to stay away from Dell... said I can get the same basic stuff several hundred cheaper than Dell.

9:10 am

mom2han8

Anyway, I know next to nothing so I have to listen to him!

9:10 am

Rushie

Yeah, if it was up to me I'd save up about $2,000-2,500 and build one myself

9:10 am

beachboggle

I have gotten all my computers etc from Dell for a long time/ no probs yet

9:10 am

dafunk

i like toshiba myself. or if i did have a desktop, i built it myself

9:11 am

Rushie

I'd probably make mine with 16GB of RAM and a 25mbps download speed

9:11 am

Pinikula

Really? I'm looking at one that $549 for 3GB Mem; 250GB HD; 15" monitor

9:11 am

mom2han8

My husband and brother in law built/then upgraded this one.

9:11 am

mom2han8

He said that the Toshiba's are decent.

9:11 am

Rushie

That isn't bad Pini

9:11 am

Rushie

Make sure it's XP though

9:11 am

Pinikula

my desktops are custom built...I'm not all that keen on proprietary systems...

9:11 am

Pinikula

has Vista on it now, Rushie...but I have acceess to XP

9:12 am

mom2han8

Well... it will be our only computer so I think I have to go with 4GB Mem

9:12 am

Rushie

Ah, dump the Vista and make sure XP is on it

9:12 am

Rushie

Because the reason being is Vista is a glitchy slower version of XP, and uses twice as much RAM

9:12 am

Pinikula

$749 = 4G Mem; 320GB HD

9:13 am

mom2han8

Pini... yeah that is why my brother in law said to stay away from Dell... I guess because they can't just pop things in and out when I need upgrading/replacing, etc.

9:13 am

Pinikula

...and I don't particulary care for Vista anyway...too new and such a hassle

9:13 am

mom2han8

I definitely do NOT want Vista.

9:13 am

dafunk

windows 7 is coming out soon

9:13 am

mom2han8

I think I can definitely get one in the 800 - 900 range.

9:13 am

dafunk

i think quarter 1 of 2010

9:13 am

Rushie

Eh, I wouldn't advise getting it though

9:14 am

Pinikula

Me either...I have a Toshiba laptop, but have never put it on the internet because it has my genealogy on it...

9:14 am

dafunk

i have the beta version

9:14 am

mom2han8

But I also need a new printer... when it rains it pours! But I want the HP all-in-one that can do 12 x 12 paper...

9:15 am

Rushie

I have an HP all-in-one

9:15 am

Judi

Just another manic Monday. Hi, kids!

9:15 am

mom2han8

I also have tons of pictures/music... so I also want a portable hard drive just to hold all that stuff.

9:15 am

Rushie

Couple years old, it's an Officejet 7310

9:15 am

mom2han8

Do you like it Rushie?

9:15 am

Rushie

Hi Judi

9:15 am

mom2han8

9:16 am

Rushie

Lol, some days I can find 9-letter words in 2 seconds in a glance but I can't find a 4 letter word

9:25 am

Rushie

I use more of the longer words every day than stuff like aeon

12:40 pm

MonkeyGames

Looks like I could sure use clues for all of them... I'll stare at them for awhile and then go away for a while and then come back for a while. It's a valid strategy. And I'm likely to pounce on the first person to de-lurk. *Lies in wait behind a rock...*

12:43 pm

mama2maddie

one more se5/10 eluding me

12:44 pm

MonkeyGames

I've got those! Which one do you need?

12:45 pm

mama2maddie

ahh it must be

12:45 pm

KatieMcG

monkey there is a 5,6,7 and 6 which start with a cats sound using only a single last letter + not out for the 5 and the rest all use the same base

12:45 pm

mama2maddie

that was it...ty MonkeyGames :-)

12:46 pm

MonkeyGames

Thank you Katie! How embarrassing. I had them without the end vowel, didn't even see to exxtend. THANK YOU! Do you have the in6/21?

12:47 pm

KatieMcG

His fever was down when I got him off to bed, and there's still no itching, but he's pretty ragged at th emoment, porr kidlet. We'll see how he sleeps-- last night he was pretty much awake until 1:30. Then we goyt up at 6.

12:50 pm

stidmama

MONKEY!!!! ((((hugs)))) thanks again for your note, it helped me calm down enough to sleep last night! (YAY for firewords)

Hi stidmama

12:51 pm

HI STID!!!! No problem, now I'm not sprry I had the date wrong!

12:51 pm

stidmama

Hello all... oh dear, poor little guy.

12:51 pm

stidmama

is it chicken pox?

12:51 pm

MonkeyGames

Yup. It's chicken pox, you know.

12:51 pm

KatieMcG

when is you birthday stidmama?

12:51 pm

KatieMcG

.....you can see who spends too long on facebook!!!!

12:52 pm

MonkeyGames

The worst part, really, is that he'll now have to miss this yearly set of charity walks he's been really looking forward to.

12:52 pm

stidmama

LOL I had it REALLY bad when I was a child, had my kids vaccinated. One got it, one didn't -- the one who didn't later turned out to be NOT immune. That's the one who's going to Australia this summer, so we had his re-done.

12:52 pm

MonkeyGames

Is it me, Katie? I think it's me.

12:52 pm

stidmama

My birthday is sometime... *avoiding obviousness* soon.

12:53 pm

KatieMcG

mine is wednesday :-)

12:53 pm

MonkeyGames

The vacc still seems to be linked to later shingles and is not always efefctive... it's not used here.

12:53 pm

KatieMcG

Oh no Monkey it is most certainly me!

12:53 pm

MonkeyGames

Happy advance birthday both of you!

12:53 pm

stidmama

shingles comes with vaccine or with actual disease. My fever was dangerously high as a child... I still remember the hallucinations. That's why we had our boys get the vaccination.

12:54 pm

MonkeyGames

That makes sense to me, Stid. I had chicken pox when I was 15. My step father hadn't, so I got to be shut away in my room with no human contact for 2 weeks. Trust me, that was heaven under the home circumstances at the time.

12:55 pm

KatieMcG

Better dash BBQ nearly ready and hubby need help, bbs

12:55 pm

stidmama

AHA! found the P words without help! LOL

12:55 pm

MonkeyGames

Were they scary or happy hallucinations? Or neither or both?

12:55 pm

MonkeyGames

Bye Katie!

12:55 pm

stidmama

wow monkey -- poor kid. ((hugs 15 year old Monkay))

12:55 pm

MonkeyGames

Good for you, Stid! The p's nearly killed me.

12:55 pm

stidmama

later katie ((hugs))

12:56 pm

stidmama

they were frightfully scary, Monkey. I had nightmares for years afterward

12:56 pm

MonkeyGames

It's OK now. But I do feel I may have had a better start in life if I'd had, well, a better start in life...

12:56 pm

MonkeyGames

Oh no, Stid, that's awful!

12:57 pm

stidmama

yes, I understand that. It is a mark of your endurance and strength though, that you have done well in life afterward.

12:57 pm

stidmama

I look at my trials as having helped form me -- though I would not wish them on others, they do help me understand people whose misfortunes sometimes are too much to bear.

12:58 pm

stidmama

how is your grandfather doing? I was thinking of Sam on Saturday when my friend was giving her talk on jellyfish at the local college's science carnival. He would have LOVED her presentation.

1:01 pm

sprite

hah, found a bird. Evening all.

1:01 pm

1:02 pm

I am well sprite! how's your puppy? I wandered past your flicker pages the other day and just adore the lovely kennel your husband built for him.

1:02 pm

sprite

it is great, isn't it? Puppy is doing terrific, will upload new pics tomorrow.

1:03 pm

stidmama

I'll try to remember to look. This week I have a bunch of papers/tasks to complete for classes -- final in the one class is next week, the other just has the BIG PROJECT due. *sigh*

1:03 pm

stidmama

How about you? has spring sprung for holland yet?

1:04 pm

stidmama

NO blank tiles! down to 49...

1:04 pm

sprite

wow, busy schedule. You can always take a look, I won't take the pics down, so don't feel pressed!

1:05 pm

stidmama

okay, thanks. my dog has been out of control lately, he so resents my being away from home all the time. We really need to get him a companion dog... but right now time and money are both at premiums, so it's not likely.

1:05 pm

sprite

no, and if you get a second dog, you will need a lot of time to train the new one and keep the old one content. *hugs*

1:06 pm

stidmama

yep, exactly. *more hugs* I have so missed seeing you!

1:06 pm

stidmama

you heard about my getting into the Master's in Teaching program?

1:06 pm

sprite

and vice versa!

1:07 pm

sprite

yes I did, wtg stiddie! Making us all proud!

1:07 pm

*what have I got myself into now mama look*

1:08 pm

sprite

1:10 pm

1:10 pm

stidmama

so what's up for your kiddos this summer? stidkid #1 goes to Australia in July, the same week that stidkid#2 is in a play; we are hosting their penpal from Tbilisi for a couple months as well...

1:10 pm

stidmama

go sprite go!

1:11 pm

sprite

first week summer camp and 2nd week pony care for Caya. Tim doesn't know and doesn't want anything (guess his age). We are not going abroad, but will go canoeing for a couple of days.

1:12 pm

stidmama

LOL sprite... your kid and my kids could easily swap places, i think!

1:12 pm

sprite

lol I think so too! And have a great time while at it.

1:13 pm

stidmama

my younger one came up behind me a few days ago when I was at at his school and spoke. I didn't know who it was until I turned around! *old mama look* his voice has started to turn! (and it was already quite deep and husky)

1:13 pm

sprite

ohhhh wow! Same here, Tim's voice is actually lower than my love's atm (when it is not a couple of octaves higher).

1:14 pm

stidmama

WOW! split the difference? LOL do they have the same inflection too? my Tom and the younger stidkid sure do, I have to check now when I call the house to know who I am talking to.

1:15 pm

sprite

absolutely. And Tim is about a full head bigger than I, can you believe it? Must look up at him.

1:15 pm

stidmama

hm. down to 35. I think I will pause here and eat before I rush off to class. *nibbling on choclits* balanced diet, you know!

1:16 pm

sprite

good! Chocolate is brain food. You need it.

1:16 pm

stidmama

yes, the stidkid has paused for several months at about 5-10, but may be poised to go higher still. Though when I bought him shoes yesterday he hadn't grown his "tootsies" that much more.

1:16 pm

stidmama

1:23 pm

sprite

hi MonkeyG

1:23 pm

stidmama

I know what happened -- I hit the wrong "update" field. now it's there.

1:23 pm

sprite

lol

1:23 pm

stidmama

yes, we're tolerably firey!

1:23 pm

jmcnrick

ah ha! *sneaky J.E. look*

1:23 pm

stidmama

hey again monkey. I had asked about Sam...

1:24 pm

sprite

yup it shows, thanks stiddie!

1:24 pm

MonkeyGames

I'll stay for a minute because I haven't "seen" you in forever, Sprite! How are you?

1:24 pm

stidmama

yw sprite.

1:24 pm

sprite

did they also tell you that in the old days, girls born in the fire horse years were often killed?

1:24 pm

stidmama

yes, I had heard that... so pleased to have been born in a MODERN fire horse year! LOL

1:24 pm

sprite

very slowly trying to climb upwards, MonkeyG. Practising patience. Practising a LOT, lolll.

1:25 pm

sprite

yeah, and I can actually see why they did, in those times and places. We aren't easy, so to speak. We are catalysors, right?

1:25 pm

stidmama

*puts dash of patience in sprite's tea to speed up the process*

1:25 pm

sprite

ohhh thanks!

1:26 pm

stidmama

no doubt, sprite. Things are rarely completely settled around me -- I have so many ideas and plans...

1:26 pm

MonkeyGames

What's going on? I thought I had you in my faceboook friends thing but when I click on you it says "pending" or something. I've been too out of touch, sorry!

1:26 pm

stidmama

Monkey's baby is sick, sprite... he has chicken pox.

1:26 pm

MonkeyGames

You OK?

1:26 pm

sprite

awww chicken pox. Well better have it and be do4 with it. Not nice in this heat though.

1:27 pm

stidmama

I'll head out and let you girls chat for a while. ((hugs sprite)) ((hugs monkey)) Love you both and hope I see you again SOON... (like, next week when I don't have so many classes to attend).

1:27 pm

MonkeyGames

Yes, the poor litte fellow is just covered in spots and has intermittent high fevers. He's generally miserable but can be cheered up for periods, especially by a bucket of water out on the deck.

1:27 pm

sprite

two friends of mine once said it very clearly, lol. One said: she makes things change and happen. And the other said: yes, the things that need changing most, and you want changing least.

1:27 pm

MonkeyGames

I'll sure try, Stid! Happy birthday soon again! Have a good one!

1:28 pm

sprite

stiddie, will think of you as always, enjoy the classes and be proud of you! *hugssssssss*

1:28 pm

stidmama

*poof*

1:28 pm

sprite

if you can keep his temp reasonably in the middle and his fingers from the pox, things will be better very soon.

1:29 pm

MonkeyGames

Yeah, we'll get through it. Luckily he has no itching yet. And he responds well to paracetamol.

1:30 pm

MonkeyGames

But he has to miss the avondvierdagse, and he has been really looking forward to it.

1:30 pm

sprite

my awfully impossible son came home and apologised for his misbehaviour in a very sincere way. Yay for the kid :)

1:30 pm

sprite

poor little Monkey. But you will cheer him up... and he learns again that he cannot always have what he wants, though he can try to want what he gets ;)

1:30 pm

MonkeyGames

I haven't heard about this-- what'd he do? Great that he apologized, and nicely at that!

1:31 pm

MonkeyGames

True, true. I'll get down to work with him on a book we're doing and he'll be distracted. He "wrote" the story and I will illustrate it and bind it into a real book for him.

1:32 pm

sprite

lol I didn't tell, nothing big, just very bad behaviour (including almost breaking a window out of sheer rage). I was really mad at him, and he just came home and told me I was right and he was sorry. That is something, isn't it, for a 13 yo.

1:32 pm

MonkeyGames

Yes indeed. The first part is because he's a teenager, the second part is because he's good natured and well brought up. Well done!

1:33 pm

sprite

yeah, he is ok, I was just making fun earlier. I love him to bits.

1:33 pm

sprite

and thanks for the compliment :)

1:33 pm

MonkeyGames

I know you do. And he yhou.

1:34 pm

sprite

oh yes. It is actually funny to see how amazed he can be at his own misbehaviour. They often really don't KNOW why they act up, do they... all those hormones rule.

1:35 pm

MonkeyGames

Don't I know it! I remember being a teenager. I knew everything and was always right and everyone was always trying to make me get upset.

1:37 pm

sprite

hm I remember it being hell, but that was because it was, kind of, at home. Getting together with my sister again has made so much clear, sad as it is, but clear isn't bad.

1:38 pm

MonkeyGames

It WAS hell!!!! But I still knew I was right about everything. And that everybody else hated me. Especially mom.

1:38 pm

sprite

sheezzz that sounds vague. Sorry. I just mean, it is better to know for sure and get it behind you, than being unclear about your past.

1:38 pm

sprite

and did she? Your mom I mean? Or did you just think so?

1:39 pm

MonkeyGames

I understood. And you're right.

1:39 pm

sprite

thanks

1:40 pm

MonkeyGames

At times she did. I moved out at 15 when she said she wished I had never been born because I accidentally stepped on the edge of the pile of clothes we were giving to charity. But she's on the right medication now and we get along OK, as long as we aren't around each other much. She's really a great lady... just shouldn't have been in any kind of relationship with anyone back then.

1:41 pm

sprite

painful. But great that you managed to connect to her later in life in some way.

1:41 pm

sprite

yay, fireworks. *hugs* to you and little Monkey, and see you soon.

1:42 pm

MonkeyGames

It was for Walter. I was pregnant and didn't want him to see the kind of fake out relationship she had with her mom that always made me so uncomfortable. She doesn't really remember those days now anyway so I can put it all beghind me.

1:42 pm

MonkeyGames

YAY for your fireworks! Come for a barbecue soon!

1:43 pm

sprite

good for you. And we will, let us know. Bye :)

1:43 pm

MonkeyGames

Bye, and *poof* as well!

Yes -- I noticed that the last time we were there.

1:59 pm

Wonderful treat.

1:59 pm

jacq

[Q] From Helen Norris: Any ideas on the origins of the expression nitty-gritty? I heard today a rather horrible suggestion that it referred to the debris left in the bottom of slave ships after their voyages, once the slaves remaining alive had been removed.

[A] This belongs in the same class of folklore which holds that a picnic was a slave lynching party. There is the very slightest of links, in that nitty-gritty was originally a Black American English expression, and some writers have guessed that nitty-gritty is a euphemism for shitty. Apart from those tenuous associations, the evidence is all against the theory.

The first known example in print has recently been found by Fred Shapiro of Yale University, in the Pittsburgh Courier of 29 June 1940: “Any convention goes lacking when that Joe Louis clenches his fists, put on the gloves, and steps into the ring in his pretty satin trunks and whips another guy down in the ‘nitty-gritty.’” The expression is almost certainly older (I know of two people who claim to have come across it in the 1920s). But it’s inconceivable that it should have been around since slave-ship days without somebody writing it down. Its meaning — the fundamental issues, the heart of the matter, or the most important aspects of some situation — also doesn’t suggest a connection.

Its origins are elusive. One explanation is that it is a reduplication — through the same mechanism that has given us namby-pamby and itsy-bitsy — of the standard English gritty. This has a literal sense of containing or being covered with grit, but figuratively means showing courage and resolve, so a link with the modern sense is plausible. A less probable explanation was suggested, in a 1974 issue of American Speech, the journal of the American Dialect Society, that nits refers to head lice and grits to the corn cereal.

None of these are supported by any firm evidence, and it’s this lack of a clear origin that has contributed to the wide distribution of the slave-ship story.

9:56 pm

Jacula

I'm being 'an evil stepmother' right now, still being up, which means I probably won;t be up to walk my stepdaughter up to her new school (her 2nd day) later. She needs to know we trust her and to go there for herself. I've made her lunch stuff and left a note to say I'll meet her from school to take her to our local library (that I joined her into yesterday morning).

9:56 pm

alison45

9:58 pm

Jacula

Torg - It's a little different with this kid - she's 14, just been kicked out by her Mum and send into an area she doesn't know her way around and where she doesn't know anyone except for me, her Dad and my 2 grown-up kids.

dcseain

10:04 pm

Jacula

20 unauthorised absence from school in a 12 week period at my local high school results in an automatic £50 fine for the parents. I assume the same is not true of the school she just came from in the area where she lived with her Mum.

10:05 pm

Minveryork

That ur 6/21 word is pees alison45.

10:07 pm

Jacula

Unfortunately for her, kids are checked on the hour, every hour for being present at school. But I think the truanting was 'Mother condoned'. I'm far stricter. My grown-up kids have already told her that they'd have to have had a limb hanging off of be in their death throes, at the very least, to be let off school by me.

10:08 pm

Jacula

(The still 'hate' me for it! LOL. But both are either at or done with Uni. educations now.)

10:09 pm

alison45

okay...hints for two more folsk...your help is greatly appreciated..op5.12? and up5/16...then I can stop bugging you all

10:10 pm

Jacula

Stepdaugher, for some 4 years now, has been telling me she wants to become an archaeologist. That being so, she needs an education, preferably a uni ending one.

10:10 pm

Minveryork

op 5/12 is plural of op 4/5 or op plus a transgression.

10:10 pm

Jacula

op5.12 (2nd) = op + Biblical trangression.

10:11 pm

alison45

a biblical transgression?

10:11 pm

Minveryork

The up 5/16 word is up the opposite of begin alison45

10:11 pm

Jacula

up5.16 is what happens when a container gets stood up and upset.

10:11 pm

alison45

got the up....

10:12 pm

Jacula

Hi to you Min, 'cos I don't think we've exchanged a 'hello' yet tonight.x

10:12 pm

alison45

10:12 pm

Minveryork

op 5/16 word is op plus the seven deadly ***s alison45

10:18 pm

Jacula

Did you mean Harp re 'go', Alison?

10:18 pm

Jacula

Harp - aren't you on my private blog Reader List?

10:18 pm

Jacula

I'm sure you are.

10:18 pm

alison45

yes..but go for you as well :)

10:18 pm

harpjane

yep jac

10:18 pm

harpjane

shall i go have a peek?

10:19 pm

torgone

Yeah, well ..

10:20 pm

Jacula

Yes, Jane, do. You're supposed to read it at least weekly. LOL

10:21 pm

Jacula

ali - I'll sleep when I sleep. I'm 52 years old now and so allowed to make the choice.

10:22 pm

Jacula

Torg - yeah, well what?

10:22 pm

torgone

You're a heckuva mum, Jacs ..

10:23 pm

torgone

I admire the way you stick to your standards ..

10:23 pm

Jacula

Torg - I'm dong my best to be Th Evil Stepmother. I've told her I'm getting the builders in next week to reinstall a real fire, so she can sweep the ashes. LOL

10:24 pm

torgone

Heh heh ..

10:24 pm

Jacula

Can't offer her a nice red apple to eat , 'cos she has top and bottom braces on her teeth right now, so apples are a no no.

10:24 pm

torgone

I like it ..

10:25 pm

Jacula

However, she's enjoying the green grapes. There will be red ones next week. LOL

10:26 pm

torgone

Little things ..

10:27 pm

Jacula

Torg - no matter what I did to her, if I really did it, rather than just what I do really do, I don't think I could top what her own mother did to her, nor would I want to.

10:28 pm

Jacula

Yea, little things, like reparing her clothes, ironing her clothes (she said to my the other day, 'I'll have to get used to going out uncreased now')

10:28 pm

torgone

A bit of discipline is a good thing ..

10:30 pm

Jacula

Oh, she gets that, too, Torg. If I dn't like something she's done or doing I will say so. I will also follow up if I've mentioned some punishment for not doing or doing something.

10:30 pm

torgone

You obviously care, which sets you apart from the great mass of humanity ..

10:31 pm

torgone

That's what's important ..

10:31 pm

Jacula

Wht I see and hear around me most of the time these days is parents yelling and getting frustrated with kids and then not following up on what they said would happen if the kids did or did not do whatever.

10:31 pm

harpjane

just don't let her hang out with mice or pumpkins, jac

10:31 pm

torgone

Caring ..

10:32 pm

Jacula

Harp - Dang! I'd just lined up all the mice and made her spend al of last night carbingout the pumpkin. *sigh*

10:34 pm

torgone

I should go .. I'm being stupid as usual ..

10:34 pm

Jacula

Torg - thanks. But hope it's not apart from most of humanity, otherwise that degrades what it is to be human and feel and care.

10:35 pm

Jacula

Torg - no, you're not.

10:38 pm

Jacula

As for ways of parents discipling kids, the one thing you should not say after a disciplinary statement is Okay? I've had to tell my Ohter Half not to say that (he sees it as a reinforcing word at the end). I've heard teachers saying it in the past, too. It's not a reinforcing word, it ends up with you having a rant, laying down the law and then asking the kid for permission to have done all that.

10:38 pm

torgone

I'm sorry ..

10:42 pm

Jacula

Torg - sorry for what? Don't b sorry for me. I'm pissed off with stepdaughter's Mum for being such a crap Mum but I certainly don't see the negatives in my life with her daughter. I acknowledge they could be there, but I will try to ride around them.

10:43 pm

harpjane

done, and I"m off! see you tomorrow, or maybe at the flip

10:44 pm

Jacula

That's what eing a Mum is all about, though I do have to say my 2 grown-up kids (25 and 22) have asked me not to overcompensate and be overstrict with a child not of my own blood. LOL. They'll be regularly on hand to dilute me.

10:44 pm

Jacula

Well done Harpp!

10:46 pm

Jacula

My kids have also (indirectly) asked me not to spoil her and have told me what they will NOT share. Aww. xxxx

10:48 pm

Jacula

Pity a 14-year-old placed with me now. I've had enough experience ro know all the tricks in the book.

10:49 pm

Jacula

And I still remember being that age myself.

10:50 pm

Jacula

It's such an awkward age, which is what her unfit to b a mother, mothre couldn't cope with.

10:50 pm

Jacula

OOps, sorry, did I just emote too much?

10:51 pm

Just meher now, I guess. W|ell, enjoy the new grid all.
